Day 3 of Travel

Good Morning Friends!!

Yesterday was another really good day. I only have one food post because I completely forgot to post my lunch at work and then at dinner.

For breakfast I first started off my day by getting up and heading to the gym. I got a good 45 minutes on the elipitical while watching Parenthood. I am blazing through that series and really loving it. If you have Netflix, do yourself a favor and put it on your list to watch it!!!

After my work out, which by the way is a huge win to begin with because I never get up early to get a work out in, I usually do it after work, but I was going to my Aunts for dinner and knew I wouldn't have time later on.

Breakfast was of course another great win...


Eggs, Potatoes and a piece of burnt bacon, which is exactly how I like it lol. And of course I had my beloved coffee.

I then after a great start to my morning, came back upstairs and got comfy in my big bed for a little bit befor having to get ready.


Right across from the mall I am working out is a Dunkin Donuts!!!


I am one very happy girl with this!!! 

For lunch I brought a yogurt and some hummus with carrots and pretzels to the store with me. After work I went to my Aunt Debby's house for dinner. She only lives 30 minutes from where I am staying so it was sooo great to see her and my uncle and cousin. She made me chicken parm, with zucchini, brocoli and rice and a big salad. I was in pure heaven and for dessert she gave me some pistachio ice cream.

Which she gave me a big bowl but I was more than full and only ate half. I acutally stopped when I was full. Another HUGE win!!

I got back to the hotel around 10:15 and I was tired! It was a long early day for me, BUT I have a FitBit now and I have a goal of 10,000 steps. I was so close, so I walked around in circles until I hit the goal. Yes, just paced back and forth haha. I am determined and I am glad a little spark has started in me again.

I curled up in bed for a bit and had some fruit while I watched some Netflix.

I am so proud of myself and how well I am doing while on traveling. There hasn't been any big challenges but the way I am handling it, I am impressed. And I haven't weighed myself all week and don't plan on it until I get back home and despite what the scale says, I know how I have been feeling and I am more than happy with that alone.

Today is another set up for success day!! But I am have to concentrate on getting in more water today and I can't wait to get back to an area when I can run too.

Hope everyone is having a great week!!
Any small successes you are having this week too???

    I love how great you're doing while away from home! It really shows how just a little bit of planning goes a long away towards success. I've also paced across my bedroom floor to reach my ActiveLink activity goal :)

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
